‘Mass wuther' protest as giant wind farm threatens Brontë moors
O ut on the wily, windy moors above Haworth in West Yorkshire, hundreds of Kate Bush enthusiasts are to gather — to protest against plans for England's biggest wind farm.
An annual event billed as 'The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever' is taking place on Sunday, July 27, on Penistone Hill, above the village where Emily Brontë lived with her sisters, Charlotte and Anne, two centuries ago.
Known as a 'mass wuther', it will feature more than 500 people dressed in red dresses and flowing black wigs simultaneously performing the musical legend Kate Bush's ethereal choreography from the video for her 1978 debut hit Wuthering Heights.
Although a mass wuther has taken place in various global locations including Melbourne, Berlin and Paris since 2013, it is the first time it has been held in the Brontë country that inspired it.
